Purpose of an Advisory Committee

Occupational education advisory committees are a requirement mandated by the California State Plan for Vocational Education. Committee recommendations should be considered in any development or review process. The committee’s role is to:

1. Provide information about changes and developments in technology, the labor market and the workplace that will have an impact on programs of the college.

Advise the college on changes in the labor market including jobs in greatest demand as well as those being phased out.

Assess the need for supplemental upgrade training for people already employed.
